Isotoma axillaris, commonly known as rock isotome or showy isotome,[1] is a small herbaceous perennial in the family Campanulaceae. It grows to 50 cm high and has divided leaves. The blue to mauve star-shaped flowers appear between September and May in the species native range. It occurs in Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria, often on rocky outcrops.[2]
The species was first formally described by botanist John Lindley in 1826 in Edward's Botanical Register.[3]
